We went to visit SIL Yen at Mahkota Medical Centre yesterday. She has her cyst removed; all 3 of them. Before the operation the doctor found only one and told her that will cost her around 5k. After the operation, he told her that there were all 3 of them and the charges would be different. Fuwah! Like that one ah? Like that arh, if he wants to earn more, he can always say he found 5 or more! I wonder how he can prove that there was more than one cyst.
SIL was in pain when we met her, a day after the 4 hours operation. She said there is a lot of wind in her stomach because they pump in oxygen into it before the operation. I do not know what’s the procedure called; they dug 3 hole in her tummy.
She has also canceled her trip to Langkawi with another BIL and MIL at the end of this month. I thought of filling in for her in case the hotel room has been booked but then cannot lar, I have no car and dare not drive all the way to Langkawi as hubby won’t be going. My Johnston and Murphy suitcase shall rest longer in the store.

The three holes are through keyhole surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Which doctor did she go to?
Usually the procedure is filmed and give to the patient, did she get a CD?
I wonder why it takes so long ah? Keyhole surgery usually takes about 30-45 min only.

Ask her to get up and walk around, that will help to get the wind out faster.

The doctor is terrible. I agreed with Leah. Mine took about 45 mins & it cost about 8k.
